🇨🇦 Captain Canada? More like Captain Buy America.
Doug Ford talks tough on the U.S. while pursuing American electricity, nuclear and gas.
Help us expose the charade. Donations matched up to $30,000.

☀️ A 70-year-old building at Saint Mary's University now generates #solarpower!
Its new roof and solar panels will save at least $28,000/year in energy costs.
Imagine if #Ontario universities put their rooftops to work, too!

NEW: The IESO, which manages the province's electricity grid, signed a contract with an American utility for power over the winter, despite the government's policies on shifting away from the US.
Critics say it undermines the Premier's buy Ontario / Canada plan.

Ford’s office is declining any comment, following news that Ontario just contracted for 600 MW of dirty electricity from the U.S.
Remember Ford's public threats to cut off Ontario electricity to the U.S.?
Tough talk, no action.

OPG’s price for nuclear power is set to rise by 60% next yr to 20 cents/kWh.
Earlier this yr, Ontario purchased NEW wind & solar for only 8.9 cents/kWh.
Let's triple renewables to lower bills and reduce our dependence on US energy imports.

So much for elbows up!
The @torontostar exposes Ford's hypocrisy - while talking tough about cutting off electricity exports to the US, he has contracted to import dirty US electricity, making us more vulnerable to hostile actions by Trump.

Carney's gov't wants to declare the DGR, a burial and abandonment project for all of Canada's high level nuclear fuel waste, a “Project of National Interest”.
Why bother with pesky impact assessments of health and safety?

Ford’s “brilliant” comeback to U.S. trade action?
Buy dirty electricity from an oil-burning New York plant instead of Ontario's cleaner options.
Are we winning yet?

🇨🇦 A Canadian company just installed 76 offshore wind turbines in Poland, enough to power 1.5M+ homes once operational.
Meanwhile, Ontario still bans offshore wind in the Great Lakes.
We have the wind AND the expertise. Let's use them! 🌬️

☀️ Four #FirstNations are teaming up to build an 8.5 MW solar farm in northern #Ontario!
100% #Indigenous-owned, the project could create jobs, power a local mine and avoid 4,900 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Renewable energy AND community opportunity. 💚

$400 billion for new nuclear.
Who gets the bill?
Our kids and grandkids deserve a bright future, not decades of costly energy decisions to pay for.
#Ontario can choose cleaner, lower-cost wind, solar and storage.
Let’s build a future they can afford.
☀️ Solar power you can plug into a wall?
It's already happening! Small balcony-friendly 3solar panels are helping renters & homeowners generate their own electricity AND lower their bills.
Germany has over 1 million systems!
Why not #Ontario? 👀

There's little support from Northumberland election candidates for building the world's largest nuclear station in Port Hope.
5 are in favour, 9 opposed, 25 undecided.

🧡 Reconciliation can't end on Sept. 30.
On Oct. 1, Canada designated a major oil pipeline a Project of National Interest.
Keepers of the Water says Indigenous rights, lands + waters must be respected.
Reconciliation can't be symbolic.

☀️ Solar has officially overtaken nuclear.
In 2025:
☀️ Solar: +510 GW
🌬️ Wind: +159 GW
☢️ Nuclear: +1.5 GW
Solar also generated more electricity globally than nuclear for the first time.
The energy transition isn't waiting around.

Nuclear projects including uranium mining, reactors, & waste impinge on traditional Indigenous lands.
We're grateful for the life-affirming values and spiritual guidance provided by Indigenous wisdom posted here:

Six Meaford election candidates oppose TC Energy’s proposed pumped storage project.
Even the IESO says it does not compare favourably with available alternatives.
